I have been playing my "Dean Tradition Acoustic Guitar, Exotic Birds Eye Maple" ever since I received it this evening; I've taken a break to upload some pictures and write an initial review.It is a very attractive instrument...well-constructed with nice details...and has decent action & volume...its pitch is somewhat bright, which I like, as it provides a contrast to my warmer cedar-top Seagull.Here are Dean's specifications, directly from their web site:"TRADITION EXOTIC* Solid Spruce Top* 5 Body Types Available (see below)* 25-1/2" Scale* Mahogany Neck* Rosewood Fingerboard* Pearl Dot Inlays* Sealed Die Cast Tuners* Celluloid Binding* Woodcut Mosaic Rosette* Finishes: Birds Eye Maple, Mapa Burl, Lacewood, Zebra, Quilted Ash"I believe that the Birds Eye Maple covering the sides/back is a veneer over a mahogany underlayment.Generally, the guitar was finished with good attention to detail: the only undesireable things that stood out to me [but were not 'deal-breakers' and may not matter as much to other folks] are:* a few flecks & chips of wood embedded in the gloss finish* the veneer is not aligned well [ie, the Birds Eye pattern is not matched up closely on the sides...I'm posting a photo to explain better].* of more importance...at least, to me, since I initially ordered my guitar based on Amazon's "Product Features," which, as of this writing states "Machine Heads: Grover"...is that this guitar DOES NOT have "Grover" machine heads. It apparently has ones made by "Ping" [this is what I was told when I contacted Dean...and I also asked them why more than one website says "Grover" but they couldn't tell me]. If anyone is really hankering for Grovers, they'll probably have to plan on spending at least $50 to upgrade...just an FYI.My pictures that I uploaded to the gallery will tell the rest of the story...excuse me while I get back to playing my new baby ;-)
